[Kde-scm-interest] moving back on the rails

I have been away for a week for rather sad family reasons, and I've only just
now caught up with kde-scm-interest. It seems to me that the whole thing has
derailed again, mainly through discussions on two topics:
* accountability
* module layout
As for the first, wouldn't it be sufficient to have a precommit hook that
forces all commits to have a line that says "approved-by: x at y.org" (or
something like that, bikeshed about that to your hearts content) where x at y.org
is the email address of the kde committer who takes responsibility for the
merge? Having a separate administration seems fragile to me.
As for module layout, couldn't we just vote or something? It's something we
can go on discussing for ages without getting to any resolution, and for
modules like kdenetwork or edu, the idea was to ask the people working on that
whether they want to stay together or split up anyway, and to me Thiago's
numbers about kdelibs vs Qt seem convincing enough.
I'd really want to get back to getting things done...
